In the activity room for the audition.

Wang Kai's agent came in with him, and carried a huge bag of drinks with his assistant: "I'm in a hurry, I brought you something to drink." I won't bother the directors to audition, please have a lot of audience Wang Kai. ”

After the agent finished the politeness, he withdrew from the activity room.

Fang Xing sat back in his position and glanced at the monitor in front of the assistant director next to him: "Are you ready?" ”

The audition video will be recorded, and sometimes if the actor is not finalized on the spot, I will go back and rewatch the audition video for consideration.

The assistant director pressed a few times on the monitor, nodded and replied, "It's okay." ”

Since it is an audition video, there is no need to consider the lens language, there is only one camera position, and the audition actor can be filmed clearly.

"Then here we go." Fang Xing looked at Wang Kai, meaning to ask him if he was ready.

"Okay." Wang Kai stood up straight and nodded in response.

"Have you read the script?" Fang Xing picked up the script and flipped to the next few pages.

"I'm done." Wang Kai nodded and replied.

"Now the actor circle says that I audition for Yama, and the requirements are ridiculously high." Fang Xing made a joke first.

The crew members present were all holding back laughter.

In fact, the reason why Fang Xing's audition requirements are getting higher and higher is because the dramas he is filming are becoming more and more difficult.

When filming "The Beginning", the requirements for auditions were actually not that high.

Because the actors who need to be acting in "The Beginning" are basically the old actors of the National Theater, especially the "Aunt Pot" Liu Lanying, the quality of the audition is high enough, and there is no need to raise the requirements.

As for the young actors in "The Beginning", they don't have any requirements for acting skills, as long as they don't act.

When it comes to "Hurricane", it won't work, almost every character has to be acting, and without some acting, it can't be filmed in this drama at all.

is also because during the casting of "Hurricane", the audition actors who were brushed off before and after could form a battalion, which led to the nickname of "Audition Yama" began to spread in the actor circle.

There is another reason why it is so spreading.

That is the other director of "Hurricane" is Zhou Jitao, a senior director of police dramas.

Some actors auditioned, and Zhou Jitao, a veteran director, thought it was okay, but he didn't pass it when he came to Fang Xing.

After this nickname came out, it became more and more evil.

However, the four dramas filmed by Ark Culture are all popular in half the sky.

As long as you can star in the TV series of Ark Culture, it is equivalent to becoming popular.

Therefore, even though Fang Xing has the nickname of "Audition Yama", there are still countless actors who want to participate in the audition.

"It's a joke in circles." Wang Kai answered casually.

"Actually, I'm really not that scary."

Fang Xing smiled heartily, and then said: "We are all old acquaintances, so let's try a more difficult scene."

】

"That's it. After King Jing Xiao Jingyan became the crown prince, the villain Xia Jiang identified Mei Changsu in front of the emperor as Lin Shu, the major general of the rebel Red Flame Army.

"King Jing Xiao Jingyan fell into a state of shock, disbelief, and recognition when he learned that Mei Changsu was his best friend."

When Wang Kai heard that he was going to audition for this scene, his whole expression froze.

For the role of "King Jing Xiao Jingyan" in this scene, there are not many lines, but the performance is all about expressions, which is more difficult than having more lines.

Because there are no lines, and if you want to perform in place, it all depends on the change of expression.

Moreover, the inner drama of this scene "Jingwang Xiao Jingyan" is very complicated.

First of all, "Jingwang Xiao Jingyan" and "Lin Shu" are close friends who grew up together.

"Jingwang Xiao Jingyan", the biological mother of "Concubine Jing", was once a medical girl in the Lin Mansion.

The relationship between two people is the same as that of brothers.

However.

The Red Flame Army was falsely accused by the ministers, slaughtered as rebels, and annihilated in Meiling.

"Lin Shu", as the major general of the Red Flame Army, survived by luck, but he was poisoned by the fire and cold, and he was unrecognizable.

In the next twelve years, "Lin Shu" planned revenge in the name of "Mei Changsu".

Because the Red Flame Army was destroyed as a rebel army back then.

This also means that "Lin Shu" is a remnant of the rebels.

Once the emperor knew that "Mei Changsu" was the "Lin Shu" of the year, then "Mei Changsu" would definitely die.

The villain "Xia Jiang" identified "Mei Changsu" as "Lin Shu".

"King Jing Xiao Jingyan" should have been shocked and ecstatic when he learned that his best friend was not dead, but he had to deny that "Mei Changsu" was "Lin Shu" in front of the emperor.

Several emotions are intertwined, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to perform in place.

Wang Kai didn't expect it to be the most difficult scene in the entire script, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Sure enough, there was no wrong nickname.

"Can we start?" Fang Xing said and handed over the script in his hand.

Wang Kai waved his hand and said, "I don't need a script, I need five minutes." ”

Fang Xing nodded, then glanced at the assistant director on the side and said, "Let's give him a show." ”

Several executive directors and assistant directors in the crew are a bit addicted to drama, and occasionally play a trick role in the crew.

Fang Xing and the assistant director stood up and walked to the middle of the venue.

After a while.

Wang Kai raised his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and motioned for him to start.

The assistant director immediately stepped up, holding the script in one hand, raising the other hand and pointing at Fang Xing, and read the line words aloud: "He! It is the remnant of the Red Flame Army who colluded with the emperor's eldest son and escaped by luck, the son of the Red Flame Commander Lin Xie, and the commander of the Red Feather Battalion, Lin Shu! ”

Since the protagonist of this audition is Wang Kai, the monitor mainly shoots Wang Kai.

As for the assistant director holding the script and reading the lines, it doesn't matter how sparse the line skills are.

After this line was pronounced, the expression on Wang Kai's face began to change, first his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

In the cognition of "King Jing Xiao Jingyan", his best friend "Lin Shu" has already died in Meiling.

This has also become a knot that he and the emperor will never be able to untie.

However, now that I heard that "Lin Shu" was not dead, it was "Mei Changsu" in front of me, and my first reaction should indeed be surprise.

Fang Xing stood next to him and kept staring at his expression, satisfied with the first change in expression.

Followed by.

Wang Kai showed a hint of sudden realization on his face, but quickly covered it up again, and continued to widen his eyes and maintain a shocked expression.

Fang Xing saw the expression of sudden realization on his face, and gave him a high score in his heart.

Because of this sudden realization expression, it is very in place.

The complete episodes of "Langya Bang" are 54 episodes, and this scene is in 49 episodes, and it is almost the finale.

In other words, "Mei Changsu" has been assisted by "Jingwang Xiao Jingyan" all the way, from an unfavored prince, step by step to the throne of the prince.

In this process, "Jingwang Xiao Jingyan" once found that "Mei Changsu" had many similarities with "Lin Shu".

After all, the two grew up together and are like brothers, so it is impossible not to feel at all.

It's just that the people around him helped "Mei Changsu" hide from him, causing him to occasionally suspect it, and in the end he will think it was a coincidence.

Now, the truth that "Mei Changsu" is "Lin Shu" was exposed by the villain "Xia Jiang" in the palace hall.

"King Jing Xiao Jingyan" finally understood why "Mei Changsu" had so many shadows of "Lin Shu".

Therefore, at this moment, there should indeed be an expression of "sudden realization".

However, this truth cannot be known to the emperor, otherwise "Mei Changsu" will definitely die.

Therefore, after "Jingwang Xiao Jingyan" suddenly realized, he immediately hid his true inner emotions and helped "Mei Changsu" hide his identity.

Followed by.

It's the turn of "Mei Changsu" to speak.

Fang Xing smiled lightly and said, "Xia Shouzun, it's really shocking. ”

Immediately afterwards, the assistant director changed his position and began to play the emperor, continued to play, staring at Wang Kai and said tentatively: "Prince, what do you say about Xia Jiang's statement?" ”

Wang Kai looked at the assistant director, there was a flash of nervousness in his eyes, and he began to help cover it up: "Why did my father ask this?" You watched Lin Shu grow up since childhood, don't you know him? ”

The assistant director took the script and continued to play the emperor and read the lines: "Do you know the poison of fire and cold? The burning flames, the cold of the bones, and the snow scale insects unique to Meiling make the poisoned people completely unrecognizable, and the people of their loved ones are difficult to identify. ”

The lines read here.

Wang Kai once again showed a shocked and suddenly realized expression on his face, and turned his head to look at Fang Xing.

He looked at Fang Xing, and the gaze in his eyes obviously determined that the person in front of him was "Lin Shu", but he wanted to continue to deny it: "Such a ridiculous statement, my father believes it, but my son doesn't believe it." ”

After this scene was performed, Fang Xing applauded and praised rarely: "Very good, you will play this role, it is better than expected." ”

Wang Kai hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Director Fang." ”

"There's no need to be so polite, it's just decided, just let the brokerage team talk about the contract."

Fang Xing said, put his arm around his shoulders, walked aside, and continued: "After I go back, I have to read the script carefully again and figure out the psychology of the characters." We'll start the film next month, and you have a lot of roles, so you basically have to follow the group throughout the whole process. ”

"Okay, okay." Wang Kai nodded busily, happy that the audition was so successful.

……

After the actors who received the invitation in the morning auditioned, it was almost half past twelve.

The crew had already gone to prepare lunch.

Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and asked, "Is there a suitable resume for today?" ”

The assistant director handed over a few resumes and said, "These are okay." ”

Fang Xing took it, opened a few glances at it casually, a total of seven resumes, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

This assistant director has already followed Fang Xing in three dramas, so he knows Fang Xing's habits very well.

When he screened the resumes of actors, they were divided into three categories.

Hearing Fang Xing ask, he handed over another stack of resumes and said, "You can take a look at this stack, but they are all at the level of group performances." ”

Fang Xing took it, and together with the previous seven parts, there were about twenty or thirty parts, and said, "Then so be it." Call them all in, give them two lines each, and let them try them out one by one. After the trial, we put our meal and rested. ”

The assistant director agreed, and then took his resume and went out to call his name: "If you read your name, come in with me, and if you don't read your name, go back first." The morning audition is over. Wang Weixiang, Li Chunxiao, Liu Peng......"

……

Since Fang Xing had already made a decision to let Wang Kai play the role of "King Jing", the company's brokerage team was very efficient, and he began to negotiate a contract with Wang Kai's company in the afternoon.

Wang Kai's brokerage company, Huahuo Media, is a small company with five or six eighteenth-tier artists, and the most profitable artist is Wang Kai.

In the entertainment industry, there are many small companies like Fireworks Media.

In many such companies, the founder has a sum of money in his hand and knows a few friends in the entertainment industry, so he starts a business and opens a company to sign trainees.

There are some eighteenth-tier girl groups in the circle, and the captain's family has a little money, so he takes money from his family to open a company, sign a few female artists, and make his debut in a group.

However, this kind of company is basically not profitable in the early stage, but it must continue to invest, rent a space for training, and pay salaries to team members.

It's good if the group has a little fame, otherwise you can only look for money everywhere to support the company and raise the group.

Liu Shijie, the artist director of Huahuo Media, used to be the executive agent of another entertainment company and worked for several years.

Then he met a boss who had a sum of money and wanted to make an investment.

So Liu Shijie pulled this investment, registered Huahuo Media, and then relied on his connections as an agent to start looking for newcomers to sign contracts in film and television bases and art academies.

is also considered lucky, not long after signing Wang Kai, Wang Kai passed the audition for "The Pretender", and then became an instant hit.

After Huahuo Media became popular with Wang Kai, it had a good profit and developed rapidly.

Moreover, after an artist becomes popular, it will be more convincing to use this artist as a signboard to sign other potential newcomers.

Not only that, after Wang Kai becomes popular, there will be a lot of business resources, film and television resources to find him.

Huahuo Media can let Wang Kai tie up the company's newcomers, go on shows, and pick up business.

Since Wang Kai became popular with "The Pretender", Liu Shijie, as the person who popularized him, has also gained a lot of connections in the entertainment industry.

……

The brokerage team of Ark Culture personally went to Huahuo Media to talk about Wang Kai's film appointment.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Xing just returned to the company after auditioning for the actors invited today.

It just so happened that Liu Yonghe, the director of the brokerage team, came back to report on the work: "Mr. Fang, we went to Huahuo Media in the afternoon to talk about Wang Kai's film contract, and we talked about a lot of details.

The other party's artist director was okay, but in the end he didn't sign the contract, and the other party's artist director said that the schedule needed to be discussed at a meeting.

"Although the other party's attitude is okay, according to my experience, if a small company like Huahuo Media wants to delay the contract, there is a high probability that it does not want to sign, and there should be other choices."

Fang Xing knows his ability to work as the director of the brokerage team, and since he said that Huahuo Media is delaying the contract, there must be a problem here.

"Do you know what's going on?" Fang Xing then asked.

Liu Yonghe nodded and replied: ""Furong" is also talking about Wang Kai, and it is said that the salary is very high. Liu Shijie, the director of Huahuo Media, I have dealt with him before, this person is not small, and he likes to drill camps. ”

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and said, "This matter is entrusted to you. I am very satisfied with Wang Kai's audition, you can do it yourself, I really can't talk about it, and then I will report. ”

"Okay, understood." Liu Yonghe agreed and immediately turned around to work overtime.

When talking about actor film appointments, naturally the boss doesn't need to go out in person, otherwise what do you want the people under you to do?
